Lakers News: Knicks Guard Brandon Jennings Doesn’t Respect D’Angelo Russell

Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell made a big mistake towards the end of his rookie season, as he filmed teammate Nick Young in a hotel talking about cheating on his then fiancé, Iggy Azalea. His phone then got hacked, resulting in the videos being released.

Russell was highly scrutinized by many after the incident, including teammates, as some of them reportedly refused to talk to him other than on the court.

It was known that the talented rookie was immature, but that incident demonstrated just how immature he was, leading to some people believing that the Lakers should attempt to trade him.
